The UTEP Miners (8-8, 4-6) men’s basketball team take the stage Friday night for a two-game road matchup against the Conference USA’s West Division leader, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) (14-2, 7-1) Blazers.
Currently, on a four-game win streak after last weekend’s sweep of Middle Tennessee State, the Blazers now have the best winning percentage in C-USA. UAB’s only loss was a 70-55 loss at the University of Charlotte at North Carolina.
Rice and Southern Mississippi are the only common opponents the teams have faced and UTEP split its games with both teams while UAB went undefeated in those matchups with three of the games won by double digits.
